[Verse 1] Wake up, same ceiling, paint chips on the wall Phone light hit my face, no missed calls Scroll past the numbers, I don’t know ’em at all But I’d trade my whole playlist just to get one “how you been?” call Mom say I’m distant, dad say I changed Friends say I’m different, I say I’m the same Mirror say I’m lying, eyes say I’m drained Heart say “keep going,” but it’s pumping out pain [Pre-Chorus 1] I’ve been screaming in a room with the speakers off Writing prayers in my notes just to delete ’em all If I disappeared tonight, would it free ’em all? Or would the silence be the only one to see me fall? [Chorus] I’m nobody famous, just a face in the crowd Just a ghost in the playlist that you skip on shuffle now If my name never makes it to the lights or the clouds Put a lighter in the air for the ones burning out I’m nobody famous, and it’s messing me up Pour my soul in these tracks, they ain’t pressing repeat once If the world never plays this, still I’ll bleed in the cuts ’Cause the nobodies like me are the ones holding it up [Verse 2] Fake smiles, fake friends, fake love in my feed Blue check on the gram but I’m blue underneath Everybody flex life, I just flex my receipts For the therapy sessions and the nights with no sleep I got dreams in the cart that I never can buy Got a voice in my head that won’t ever be quiet Every “maybe next year” is another goodbye Every promise that I make is just another white lie [Pre-Chorus 2] I’ve been drowning in the noise just to feel a sound Turning up my own pain till it drowns me out If I vanish in the verse when the beat cuts out Would you notice that a real one just left the crowd? [Chorus] I’m nobody famous, just a face in the crowd Just a ghost in the playlist that you skip on shuffle now If my name never makes it to the lights or the clouds Put a lighter in the air for the ones burning out I’m nobody famous, and it’s messing me up Pour my soul in these tracks, they ain’t pressing repeat once If the world never plays this, still I’ll bleed in the cuts ’Cause the nobodies like me are the ones holding it up [Verse 3] Black jeans, black nails, black hoodie in June Turn my room to a tomb with the bass on wound All my idols OD’d or they died too soon Guess the price of being seen is that you bleed for views I ain’t tryna be a legend on a R.I.P. post I just wanna hear “I got you” when I need you the most Tired of toasting to the ones that I already lost While I’m sitting at the table feeling like I’m the ghost [Pre-Chorus 3] I’ve been tracing all my scars like a roadmap home But every line that I follow lead me back alone If my story never make it to a tattoo quote Will these words still matter when I’m just bones? [Chorus] I’m nobody famous, just a face in the crowd Just a ghost in the playlist that you skip on shuffle now If my name never makes it to the lights or the clouds Put a lighter in the air for the ones burning out I’m nobody famous, and it’s messing me up Pour my soul in these tracks, they ain’t pressing repeat once If the world never plays this, still I’ll bleed in the cuts ’Cause the nobodies like me are the ones holding it up [Verse 4] Fourth quarter of my youth and I’m down by ten Still benching all my hope, can’t depend on them Every “bro, you got talent” just a hollow amen When the same damn people never share my pen If success is a drug, then I’m stuck in withdrawal Every “soon you’ll blow” feel like fentanyl Killing off my patience while I pace these halls With a mixtape heart and no one to call [Pre-Chorus 4] I’ve been praying to a God that I’m scared ain’t there Telling secrets to the mic like it really care If I fade into the static of the midnight air Will the echo of my pain still be playing somewhere? [Chorus] I’m nobody famous, just a face in the crowd Just a ghost in the playlist that you skip on shuffle now If my name never makes it to the lights or the clouds Put a lighter in the air for the ones burning out I’m nobody famous, and it’s messing me up Pour my soul in these tracks, they ain’t pressing repeat once If the world never plays this, still I’ll bleed in the cuts ’Cause the nobodies like me are the ones holding it up [Bridge] If I never blow up, will you ride when I’m down? If the numbers never jump, will you still come around? If the stage stay empty and the seats all fold Would you sing these words back like they saved your soul? If I die as a verse that nobody wrote Just a lost draft line in a cracked iPhone Know I gave every bar, every breath, every note For the kids in the dark who feel nobody knows
